I recall reading last week in the forum that Arizona had "NO CHANCE" of beating Carolina.
 
I am sensing the same here.
 
As impressive as Arizona has been playing, the public is still giving them another "NO CHANCE".
 
I have no choice but to fade the public (like I did last week with Carolina) and play the home dog. AZ +4 (the line should be about 4.5/5 by Sunday am).

Weird feeling about the Cards. At home, Westbrook hobbled, K Warner going to the Hall of Fame after winning another SuperBowl this year. AZ +550 and why not with their receiving tandem? You heard it here first amigoes!!!!!!!!

Check it out. Median totals of Arizona and Philadelphia is 21 1/2 in 1st halfs. 27 in 2nd halfs. Arizona's defense is way better after halftime. Philly -2 1/2 1st half. Under 2nd half.

Philly defense being compared to the Zona defense by a few people on the thread so far.  Interesting........very interesting.

Have to like the Cards at home here. Crowd should be amped up for this. Perfect weather conditions in a dome. Balanced attack. Defense has decided to show up in the playoffs. Explosive offense. Three great recievers and James should help keep things honest. Kind of sounds like the colts a couple years back.

Philadelphia (11-6-1) and Arizona (11-7) met on Thanksgiving, but few could have predicted that would be an NFC championship game preview. The teams entered that matchup at Lincoln Financial Field headed in opposite directions. Arizona never got in the game, though, as Philadelphia jumped to a 21-0 lead en route to a 48-20 victory. McNabb completed 27 of 39 passes for 260 yards and a season-high four touchdowns, and has been carrying the team ever since. Although it won the weak NFC West and had won only two playoff games in their history prior to this season, the Cardinals have been at their best in this postseason and now become the first No. 4 seed to host a conference championship game.The Cardinals are 7-2 at home this season, including a 30-24 win over Atlanta in the wild-card round, but Philadelphia is not going to be intimidated. After winning just three road games during the regular season, the Eagles have had no trouble playing away from Philadelphia in the postseason. They've already won at the Metrodome, where the Vikings were 6-2 during the regular season, and at Giants Stadium, where New York was 7-1. The Eagles have forced five turnovers and allowed 322 passing yards in the postseason. Philadelphia had the league's third-ranked defense during the regular season (274.3 yards per game), and has allowed just four TDs in the past six games. While Arizona relies on its high-scoring offense, the Cardinals defense has surprisingly stepped up in the playoffs. Arizona was 19th in total defense during the regular season (331.5 ypg), but has limited its two playoff opponents to an average of 259.5 yards.

This will be an interseting game, especially with Philly having to go to AZ. The Cards are not going down without a fight. I may be taking a harder look at this one. AZ wants this a lot more than Philly. Kurt Warner can taste the superbowl. This just may be an upset game. Especailly with Westbrook listed as Probable and could be limited.

Larry Fitzgerald and Aquan Boldin are obviously unstoppable.
They are playing at home.  Warner has been top notch fantasy qb ALL YEAR.
Eagles have playoff experience.
Something has to give...

All the Zona backers do you really see the Eagles D just shaking in their boots b/c Boldin is now playing? Who knows how effective his is going to be so I am not putting my money on Boldin playing. I would think a hamstring injury has to be still nagging him b/c it was injured just two weeks ago.
 
I think we all have to look at the Westbrook situation closely, but I think the Eagles always say his knee is injured and then comes out and has a great game. I think the warm weather will help his condition and he will be the most effective in this game than the Giants game.
 
I just don't see the Cards being able to run the ball on the Philly D and that will mean a long day of blitzing for Warner and Co. I just like the Eagles in this matchup b/c they are healthy and playing at a much higher level on D.
 
The Cards took Steve Smith away last week and Delhomme isn't that great of a QB. I think the Cards D will have a hard time focusing on one player b/c McNabb spreads the ball around and Westbrook will be moved all over the field.
 
Do not like Zona's matchup on D vs the Eagles O so therefore at least a 10pt win by the Eagles. Akers will be a huge factor in this game b/c he is kicking out of his mind right now just at the right time. Eagles are firing on all cylinders and I would think twice about loading up on the Cards this weekend.

haha no.... not at all.... I don't think it will be Brian Dawkins... but the team plays with such passion because of him.... and I liked the video lol
 
The factors that I think will win the Eagles the NFC Championship are the D-line and Secondary as a whole....
 
their blitz scheme to force the errant throw is the formula to beat the cardinals by making Warner leave the pocket....
 
last year the GIANTS D-line was unstoppable....
the year prior the COLTS D-line was reaping havoc to all playoff teams....
the STEELERS D-line carried them through the playoffs
and the PATRIOTS had pro-bowl linemen through their run....
even the BUCCS had a great D-line the year they made it...
 
It's really not a cliche anymore, DEFENSE really does win championships....
 
and the Eagles offense can put up points, that just a fact....
 
I think they win convincingly....
 
GOOD LUCK TO ALL

The Cardinals have home field advantage, but Philly has won in a dome at Minny. I think Philly wins going away as in the two previous playoff games. I already gave the 4 and took the Eagles.
